Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

Home and ready for the 2nd half.

Holy Cow, the Lakers tie the game. Sit Ellington and put Stanley Johnson back in.

 

[Retroram52]

The young line-up is doing quite well and the 10-day signee Stanley Johnson is a keeper. The Lakers should cut Bazemore and sign Johnson to a full contract.

 

[Retroram52]

Harden just hit a three. Dagger.

 

[Retroram52]

Johnson is back in. Dude is ballin'. With James' TO we are 10 for the game. Still way too high on a consistent basis.

 

[Retroram52]

James has got 24 and the lead is three.

 

[DJ Fieri]

James is playing really well in this must win game.

 

[Retroram52]

Westbrook is 4-13 shooting but he is making some baskets.

 

[Retroram52]

I agree. The Lakers should play the youngsters with a smidgeon of older dudes like James, Westbrook, Anthony and maybe Howard.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers have got to play defense to curb those three-pointers that are killing us.

 

[Retroram52]

Johnson is a keeper. Collison should go back to being retired. Useless.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers are down by 6. They have got to play to win this game otherwise the Nets will them down-the-stretch with the long ball.

 

[Retroram52]

There is another 3-pointer that pushes the lead back to 9.

 

[Retroram52]

We have not scored in 2.5 minutes.

 

[Retroram52]

James with the made lay-up and we are back to within 7.

 

[Retroram52]

Lead is back to 9. Lakers still refuse to play any significant defense.

 

[Retroram52]

Same problem. Missing too many shots and not playing defense and the lead is back to 10.

 

[Retroram52]

And the lead is back to 13. The Lakers just don't have the team strength to stay with the Nets. This is going to be loss number 5-in-a-row.

 

[Retroram52]

Anthony TRAVELING!! Geez, it can't get much worse.

 

[Retroram52]

Here is where the Lakers have quit as the lead grow to 15.
